    "content": " I want the Committee to clarify. I sit in the Committee of the whole House and maybe they do not come too frequently. There is no rule that the Committee must disagree with any Member who proposes amendments. I think that is their mentality. If they notice, there are some I agree with and some I do not. This thing is not personal property. If I bring something that makes sense, support it; if I bring something which does not make sense, do not support it. Ideally, what you should have done if you are a good Committee, you should have met me out and we agree. That is actually how you move. You do not come here and oppose for the sake of opposing. I want to tell them, if they do not know me, I will sit here and push my amendments one by one, whether they pass or fail because I believe in them. Having said that, what I want the Chairman to clarify for me is based on his own amendment. In his amendment, it provides that the Board may from time to time establish such committees as it may consider appropriate for the better carrying out of its functions. What I want to know is whether he means that these are committees which are not sub-committees of the board. If you got my amendment was based on this which is talking of committees of the board. If they are other committees which are not boards, can he bring a further amendment to clarify that they are not committees of the board? If they are not committees of the board, I am willing to drop my amendments but, if they are committees of the board, only board members should sit in the sub-committees of the board. You cannot have strangers sitting in the sub- committees of boards."
